Late film Director David Lynch Accepted the design and architecture and mastered the art of increasing it to develop it, writes Anthony Paleta,
Any director of the result will pay full attention to set designs in his films, but some designs in the real world interiors. Many directors are attentive to furniture that appear in their work; Some people are watching it in their carpentry workshops.
David Lynch was different. Since his death, he has been a sharp tribute to his legacy in all types of areas. Let’s not forget their deep informed enthusiasm for architecture and design.
Their answers with architecture and design were unusually accurate – and unusually good
Lynch was not a person who explained himself more on most of the subjects. This does not just apply to interviewers who are trying to unlock some simple meaning from their real films; He portrayed prolificly but rarely discussed it. But their answers with architecture and design were tried to be unusually accurate – and unusually good.
When asked about his favorite architect by German design magazine Form In 1997, he replied, “from” BahusAll the students of Bahaos School, and Pierre Charo – they did the House of Glass in Paris – Ludwig Meez Van de RoheAll right families, Rudolf Michael Shindleer And Richard neutraI am really designed beautifully, minimal things. ,
In the same interview, he remembered lunch Charles ems: “He was one of the most intelligent, under the earth, the greatest person I had ever met. He was just a pure, kind of happy person, somehow like a child, enjoying life.” He went away citing Vladimir Kagan and Cherlot Periand As other favorite.
Lynch bought Lloyd Wright’s Beverly Johnson House in 1986. Lloyd, The son FleshistA highly influential architect was overseen by the father, with which he shared most of his names.
I received a quote from Lynch Last year a story about Lloyd’s work“I personally prefer the Lloyd Wright more than the Frank Lloyd Wright because the Lloyd Right is more minimal, more pure. But simply beautiful.”
Lynch hired the family, employed Lloyd’s son, Eric Lloyd Wright to designed a pool house for property. He used another surrounding house, which is actually in the Lost Highway as the Bill Pulman and Petricia Archvet’s house. Amending its mask for the filmWhat do you see in that house? Burtoa Diamond chair And the elliptical table of AIIMS, as well as furniture of your own design.
Draps design tools were used for the biggest impact
Frank Lloyd Wright had set for love for internal soap opera invitations of Anis House Twin peaks. Lynch directed A Yaves St. Laurent Commercial In Paris, the four of the four were set in Messen Day Verre, and they otherwise used all kinds of notable properties.
Richard Martin wrote in his book, “A whole was evaluated as a whole, a foolish history of architecture and design in Lynch’s career.” David Lynch architecture“Perhaps, then, we can consider his films as a imaginative and unconventional architectural project in itself.”
Draps – ignoring the soft lining of glass modernism, which are repeatedly employed by mies, loose and neutrara – were design tools that used for the greatest effect lynch. They are in the bedroom of the Pulman and Arquate in the lost highway, and they define its most prestigious location: red room in twin peaks.
Connections with the theater are unavoidable, and the red curtains again appear on a platform in Club Silences of Mulholland Drive, a place that has become real in the lyn Silence in ParisWhich offers chairs of her design. These types of forces of direction have become more common; Wes Anderson designed Once in matchingAnd Luka Guadganino A hotel in RomeBut Lynch was there earlier.
He is a rare director who can actually manufacture his own furniture, start in art school, and he accepted the stuff. In An interview with La WeeklyHe once said: “Every word is, you know, the spread of its power. You can care a little or you can care a lot. But if you take care of this word on the maximum level of intensity, then It will not start, it is enough to say how much furniture I like. “
Lynch was largely constructing for himself, designing his bed and much more, but a little step into the market. He performed his work in Salon del Mobile in 1997. Produced a limited run Later among many of his designs.
The minimalism which was favored at home will be taken out for deliberately developed purpose
Some of these pieces limit on absurdity, but a number was designed for almost talented uniqueness of use: an aspresso table and a whiskey and cigar table. The most obvious inspiration appears to be unnatural-but-hand-handedly-melding of four-handed natural and industrial content.
He too A vipul lamp designerViring between driftwood dadism and checus reconciliarity. there is A short movie While working on his lamp, there is evidence that he was not just handing the sketch to anyone else.
What are we to make all this? All the magnificent symptoms that define the lynchian style are its hallucinations for the atmosphere of places given. It is cinematic gendering that flows naturally to someone who was associated with the vibe of space at all times. As he wrote in his semi-autonomy, which is titled Room to Dream“The more pure the room, the more people and the furniture can come forward.”
The average person can hit a table if it is too large, but unlikely it was reducing their ideas. Lynch did it. In the interview in that form, he said: “In my mind, most tables are very large and they are very high. They shrink the size of the room and eat in space and cause unpleasant mental activity.”
And he made his audience clearly clear what such sensitivity is. The minimalism at home he was in favor will be deliberately saved for the purpose developed in his work.
He did not have a uniform cinematic beauty in the manner of directors, whose film sets look the same, rather focus on the essence of different types of spaces, whether Art Deco Theater or Gogi dinner or various Hollywood fantasialands.
He knew exactly how to use design and spaces to feel us in a certain way
In other words, Lynch was a brilliant director of architecture. He knew exactly how to use design and spaces to feel a certain way, and keep feeling long after twin peaks, or Muloholland drives, or long after the Lost Highway. These are media that detect the power of space, which is better than the most films about architecture.
Lynch’s last forest was in 2024 edition of Salon Dell Mobile, where he designed A room of thinkingwhat was in it? Deep blue walls, a golden ceiling, and a throne with seven “chimney”, is connected to the roof, to vent in or out for ideas. In some ways, he does not need to bother; Whatever place she had made, she was thinking of us.
